Hi all. I've got mythtv starting up automatically upon boot (by running mythfrontend in user mythtv's .xsession). No problem there.
But when my wife/kids exit from the top menu by mistake (one too many exit button presses) they're left at the befuddling command prompt. After futzing with inittab to try to get this working, and googling around along a bunch of wild goose chases, I'm throwing my hands up and beseeching the gurus how to do this. I'm running KDE. Don't want to give it up (unless I absolutely have to). Putting a line like: m7:2345:respawn:/bin/su - mythtv -c /usr/bin/startx in my /etc/inittab doesn't work. When I test it, by exiting from mythtv, this method fails with a message about the user not being allowed to start the x server. Which puzzles me because user mythtv IS allowed to run startx, and the command line 'su -mythtv -c /usr/bin/startx' works fine when I'm logged in as root. What am I missing? How do other people handle this? Thanks! cheers, john _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
